The Prophetic Vision of Die Another Day

Did anyone say Iceland Meltdown?
Revisited that 007 movie Die Another Day recently. By some reason it has got a rather bad rap. Beats me why, it’s solid Bond stuff. Brosnan is super-cool, Halle Berry is just fine and dandy, the fencing scene is fantastic and John Cleese is a hoot as Q. The baddie is a bit of a letdown as usual, but what else is new?

Couldn't resist...
Saw it originally in a Dublin cinema back in 2002. Had a lot of fun watching those scenes set at the infamous Glacier Lagoon, where the mad entrepreneur test-drove his latest world-domination gadget Icarus to great effect. Little did I know that we already had guys like that by then, preparing a similar scenario and subsequently failing even more spectacularly…
That scene. (Couldn’t resist).
